I found he solution for the white text in visual editor problem when using BBpress.
Go to your ftp and open public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css ( I found it viewing my site’s source code)
You will see a whole bunch of code making it almost impossible to find the right part to change.
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched the word ‘white’ i only found 1 code:
-wp-editor-area{color:white}
I changed it into black and this solved the white text problem!
so just search for wp-editor-area{color:white} and change it into:
-wp-editor-area{color:black}
I want to add an extra field to the bbPress registration form but add it to the [bbp-login] shortcode so I don’t have to do a completely custom form (which I could do but seems more of a pain). Any thoughts?
What do you want to know?
There is no need to reverse engineer anything, just grab the latest copy of Example.php either from /bbpress/includes/admin/converters/ or the latest updated version I am working on here and start modifying the table mappings as per the docs in the codex.

Just installed this forum and am very disappointed. I installed mingle forum as well and out of the box it is fantastic. But do not like the fact that the theme does not integrate with the site theme. This integrates with the theme but thats all it does. I have spend hours trying to get the sidebar to work and finally found a plugin called WP tweaks. Okay side bar works, but then no topis are visible and no menu items are visible to allow me to post a reply or create a topic.
Everywhere i look, I see folks telling that you have to change the code in one file or the other. Really? Come on folks before you deploy a piece of software at least make sure it works and has the basic functions before marketing it as easy to use and a 10 minute install.
I am a big Joomla fan and atleast Joomla plugins work and we do not have to change every php or html file. I like WordPress a lot, but a lot of the plugins are badly coded like this one.
Am removing this forum and will give it a 1 star for too many problems right out of the box. I need to hire programmers just to get the basics working.
No where in the documentation it talks about the sidebar issue and these other problems. But I can see why this would be a programmers dream. It is job secuerity for them so they can spend hours on making the basics work. Switching to Mingle.
Unfortunate.

Yes, bbPress includes an importer to convert your Invision (IPB) forums and users to bbPress.
https://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
I recently setup the bbpress plugin on my site – finally transitioning from the standalone code.
I have a dev site where I prepared everything and it all works perfectly.
When I transitioned everything to my live site it all looks ok – but neither myself, or my users, can post replies or new topics.
My site is here: http://prothemedesign.com/forums/
Since it all works on the dev server (which is a sub domain running from the same server) then everything should match up and work just fine.
I saw some discusses about the usage of Latex in bbpress. I guess maybe the easiest way to enable Latex in bbpress is to use Mathjax.
Put the following script code into the block of the header.php in the theme. This will load the latest version of MathJax from the distributed server, and configure it to recognize mathematics in both TeX and MathML notation. For details, refer to http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn and http://www.ouruniv.com/topic.php?id=4
script
type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://cdn.mathjax.org/mathjax/latest/MathJax.js?config=TeX-AMS-MML_HTMLorMML”>
script
The above script is not the exactly one. The shape bracket is omitted since the code won’t be displayed with it. You could copy the right one at http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/start.html#mathjax-cdn

I do not why the script above is not displayed.
Thank you so much for responding, Shane. I couldn’t get this to work but as I was searching for further explanation, I found another fix. I added this code to the functions.php
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_single_forum_description’, ‘ja_return_blank’ );
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_single_topic_description’, ‘ja_return_blank’ );
function ja_return_blank() {
return ”;
}
for anyone else who may have this problem. Thank you for setting me in the right direction!
Just realised, the reason that you see the ’ in the URL is JUST THIS FORUM. It’s obviously stripping the second apostrophe JUST IN THIS FORUM.
Ignore that, it’s in 2 single quotes in my error log, it’s just because I’ve not posted it as code here.
I’ll try again here, see if it includes the second single quote.

The URL displays fine in the error log, hopefully it will here now too.
I can’t see what the cause is straight up so could you paste the entire code in a gist at @GitHub please, also a dump of the relevant DNN database schema would be helpful.

(We will also add this DNN converter to bbPress for others wishing to convert from DNN)
It appears that I have this same issue (only the admin and guests can see the forums). I tried adding this code to the functions.php file, but it doesn’t seem to fix it. I also noticed that I can create a new page and put the forum shortcode in it, and it the main forum page shows up for all users (which is what I need), but once I click on any of the forum links, it gives me a 404.
Any ideas, or maybe options I should change, or caches and whatnot that I should clear?
Can someone help me ?
I tried to add a shortcode to my page but it does nothing…
Thanks
Hello everyone, first of all thanks for the great plugin, i´m building a new project community and one important part is the forum… I compared the options and the bbpress integrates perfect with the site and has a very clean code… but there a few features that I need…
One would be the “range” image for the users… like badges or something personalized
Another option could be a “award” image for the user implication on the community
I have been looking for a long time and no way to show those things on my bbpress forum….
can anyone bring me some light?
I haven’t had any problems on smartphones,… yet … iPhone/Android; they all work fine.
I’m sure there are other platforms (Windows,BlackBerry) but I do not know anyone who has either to test.
What problems do you run into?
I’d be very interested in your feedback on where it goes wrong/misbehaves (so I can adapt my website as well).
– Does tinyMCE misbehave?
– Or simply not work (lack of JavaScript)?
It might be difficult to determine if a visitor uses a phone or a regular computer, specially since the gap between the two is getting more narrow by the day.
Some examples are discussed here: Stackoverflow.
There is an example of browser sniffing (not my favorite) and some other techniques.
However … they all rely on JavaScript (which would be too late for doing something in PHP).
I did find some PHP code that could do the trick here: php-mobile-detect.
I have not tested it though.
If a cellphone is detected call (untested):
bbp_the_content( array( ‘context’ => ‘reply’, ‘tinymce’ => false ) );
Hello all!
I´m having some similar issue. I´m here reading and reading but nothing help me.
I did all what Shmoo say here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/page-php-as-template/
My problem is this: I had upload to my root theme this file from Extras: page-front-forums.php, and now I can see well the forum, but when I click on any link in forum WP load a home-template.php.
I would like to know what code I need to use and which files.
In the template root I use 2: bbpress.php and page-front-forums.php but I don´t know exactly which bbpress code I need to use..
Can any help me please? I don´t know if you are able to undestand me, my english, as you can see, is so bad.
Thanks in advance!
I’ve seen a lot of talk since the changes in permissions and not being a coder myself, am limited insofar as what I can do to get around the various constraints. I’m also relatively new to bbPress.
Basically, I need functionality that this plugin provides for older versions of bbPress: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/forum-restrict/ – Deciding what users get access to which private forums.
Are there any good or reasonably reliable solutions anyone can recommend? I have Justin Tadlock’s members, I’ve had the user role editor, but honestly I’m hesitant to try a whole lot with them based on my limited understanding of how the capabilities are done and/or what changes to expect.
Suggestions very much appreciated.
function bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb ($param) {
return true;
}
add_filter (‘bbp_no_breadcrumb’, ‘bm_bbp_no_breadcrumb’);
Could any tell me how do I need to use this code? Thank You!
Monica,
Sorry nothing new to report on a fix yet…
Btw, I’ve set this as private b/c I didn’t see a way to have people log in, so this would only be available to members. Don’t know if this is part of the issue.
With that above from your first post in mind, is it important your forums stay private or having them publicly accessible would not be an issue? If public is not a problem, try this:
If you leave the ‘category’ set as ‘private’ but change the two forums you have under this category from ‘private’ to ‘public’, I just tested this and it appears to be working.
(You can also change the parent category to public also and it won’t trigger the bug)
Back to the quote above you can use the `[bbp-login]` shortcode ona page or the login widget in your sidebar.
Right now I have a script that connects to an external db outside of WordPress and authenticates a user’s “Customer ID” before showing the bbPress login form, but logging in redirects me to WordPress. This is the process.
1. When they enter the Customer ID, I pass a parameter to the URL like “website.com/?cid=1234” — the “cid” represents the customer id.
2. Then it shows the bbPress login form populated using “add_shortcode([‘bbp-login’]);” which then logs in correctly.
3. For some reason, it redirects them to the WordPress admin panel directly after so… “website.com/wp-login.php” — this then takes me backdoor to “/wp-admin/” because it knows I’ve already logged in.
This only happens when I enter the website with the “cid” parameter already passed in. So if I enter the website with “website.com/?cid=1234”. I do this to bypass the first authentication so the user doesn’t always have to. SO WEIRD!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You can forums to existing WordPress pages using bbPress various shortcodes.
You can hide it with CSS. Try adding the following code to your theme’s style.css file.
`.bbp-template-notice.info {
visibility: hidden;
height: 0px;
}`
You can edit the following to your functions.php (for example)
<code>
function no_edit_lock($retval, $cur_time, $lock_time, $post_date_gmt){
return false;
}
add_filter( ‘bbp_past_edit_lock’, ‘no_edit_lock’, 1, 4);
</code>
This will overwrite the default edit_lock behavior.
At this stage I haven’t seen anyone mention anything about converting to BuddyPress ‘Group Forums’
With some theme customization you could make it appear that you have two lots of forums by putting each into their own ‘parent category’ and using shortcodes to only display each ‘category’ in specific areas of your site.
https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/
The other way is to go WordPress Multisite and have a separate site for your ‘support’ side of things.
